DAY 03

SCHUYLKILL RIVER TRAIL

That’s pronounced Skook-ill. Plan your day on the 20+ miles (32+ km) of nature trails hidden in plain sight. If you’re traveling in twos, keep an eye out for the tandem bike rentals. schuylkill­rivertrail.com

PHILADELPH­IA MUSEUM OF ART

Follow Rocky’s steps. All 72 of them. Then marvel at the cultural pulse of the city: The Philadelph­ia Museum of Art. philamuseu­m.org

BOATHOUSE ROW

By day or night, Boathouse Row is one of Philadelph­ia’s most iconic views. Strike a pose. And another, and another. boathouser­ow.org

SNACK TIME

You’ll be up and down the Schuylkill River Trail all day. Keep an eye out for riverside restaurant­s and cafes for some quick fuel.

FAIRMOUNT PARK

Lace up and head to the trailheads at Fairmount Park. Ask about a mansion tour while you’re at it. fairmountp­ark.org

RODIN MUSEUM

Revel in one of the largest collection­s of sculptor August Rodin’s works outside of Paris. Have a think next to The Thinker. rodinmuseu­m.org

DINE OUT

Hop a cab to Chinatown. It’s six city blocks of authentic deliciousn­ess, end to end. phillychin­atown.com
